Nordic Pure 8x20x1PM8C-3 Merv 8 Plus Carbon Air Filter 3 Pack

Product Description

The NORDIC PURE 8x20x1PM8C-3 is a MERV 8 pleated air filter with an integrated activated carbon layer, designed for residential and light-commercial HVAC systems. The dual-material construction fuses a MERV 8-rated filtration layer with activated carbon media, reducing flow restriction while delivering 33% more surface area compared to single-layer designs. The activated carbon captures odorous gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) on contact, while the electrostatically charged pleated media traps airborne particulate matter. Licensed HVAC technicians and knowledgeable homeowners install this filter as a routine maintenance replacement in forced-air furnaces and air handlers.

This filter is suited for residential homes and light-commercial spaces where both particulate control and odor reduction are priorities. It performs well in environments with pets, cooking odors, or elevated dust loads. The nominal size is 8x20x1 with an actual size of 7.69 x 19.69 x 0.75 inches, so technicians should verify the actual filter slot dimensions before ordering. This pack contains 3 filters. Nordic Pure recommends replacing the filter every 30 to 90 days depending on indoor and outdoor conditions, with more frequent changes during home renovations or periods of high system use.

Installation Notes

Filter replacement is a routine maintenance task performed by HVAC technicians or qualified homeowners. Power down the furnace or air handler at the thermostat or disconnect before removing the old filter. Insert the new filter with the airflow arrow on the frame pointing toward the blower, away from the return air duct. Follow local codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines for filter replacement intervals; Nordic Pure recommends replacement every 30 to 90 days under normal operating conditions.
